It’s a movie made by Tom Naughton that has the intention to rebut the argument presented in the documentary Super Size me directed by Morgan Spurlock. During the film he shows many counterarguments against Morgan’s arguments but I will write about only two. The main counterargument is that people are not stupid and they have the power to say no. He shows that fast food restaurants don’t force anyone to eat fast food and if you going to the driving thru nobody forces anyone to buy anything.…

The main point of this movie is to teach us about obesity and what it can do to our bodies. Fed Up focuses on the causes of obesity in the United States and shows that the large quantities of sugar in processed foods are an overlooked problem.

According to Feeding America in 2015 there was 42 million food-insecure households in America. This is pretty startling because as of 2015 the population is 321.4 million, it doesn't seem like a lot of people are hungry when you say that number but they are. I believe that we need to end hunger in America as soon as possible. If kids don't get the nutrition they need then they may do bad in school. It is a well known fact that we need vitamins from food to operate our bodies and if kids don’t…

Children and teens are more obese than they were forty years ago. Obesity is continuing to become an increasing problem in adolescence, as well as adults.

At first, I was upset that I was limited by the amount of junk food I could eat as a child, but now that I am older, I am glad…
